The Vedanta Society of Kansas City was founded in 1947 by Swami Satprakashananda. This Society is a subcenter of the Vedanta Society of St Louis and is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India.
WHAT VEDANTA TEACHES
Vedanta teaches that our real nature -- our real Self -- is pure, luminous, immortal, and free -- a manifestation of the Infinite Divine Reality or Godhead. The aim of our life on earth is to realize this divinity. To help us achieve this goal, Vedanta teaches various methods suited to individual needs and capacities, by which this divine perfection of the Self can be actually experienced.
Swami Vivekananda was the chief apostle of Sri Ramakrishna and heir to his master's spiritual treasures. Swami Vivekananda organized the Ramakrishna Order of India, and in 1893 he brought to the West the bold message of Vedanta when he represented Vedic religion at the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago. In 1894 he founded the Vedanta Society of New York. In 1897 he organized the Ramakrishna Mission in India. In 1900 he founded the Vedanta Society of San Francisco. His life was dedicated to recasting the ancient wisdom of Vedanta to show its practical application in helping humankind to experience God as Truth.
This Society exists to encourage its members and friends to spiritualize their lives, regardless of their choice of faith. In the Vedanta Society, all of the world's great religious leaders and teachers are given due reverence. Through their lives and teachings, one sees the living Vedanta. Vedanta is not confined to any religion or any culture of the world. Vedanta is the essence of religion itself. Vedanta describes spiritual principles which operate throughout the universe. The Society seeks to increase mutual understanding and appreciation among followers of all religious paths and to aid those who have no path.
